There's a utility program called AutoHotKey that can do that type of stuff.

expanding boolDifference

1. for closed curves
if curves aren't on same frame(missdraw or random snap) will perform boolD to first plane
2. for selection of breps and curves, curves will be ignored - boolean will be applied only to breps

fillet
c - swap between constant distance and circular

example of swapping from hard edge to soft(circular)
edge can be trimmed with a line, after chamfer - trimmed edges will remain & can be selected for next fillet

sweep question, how can a rect automatch a sweep profile ? or any other curved shape(planar) ?
panneling or border workflow

---

Hi Tudor, I'm sorry I don't really understand the question. Are you asking about the "autoplace" mode for Sweep? That is turned on if a sweep profile is outside of the rail curve's bounding box. When it's on the sweep profile will be moved to the rail and rotated to align with the rail's tangent and then swept along the rail path.

If the profile curve is inside the bounding box of the rail curve then it will not be moved and will be swept from it's current position.

when "transform tool" is enabled and picking from corner to scale -> option to rotate from that view -> ctrl + shift is still free

and a question -> is it possible to activate transform rotate tool from 3d view ?

Hi Tudor,

re:

> view -> ctrl + shift is still free

Sorry I'm not understanding this request. Ctrl+shift is currently used to force window selection without any click selection.


re:

If you have a planar object selected you can see the rotation grip in the 3d view and click it to turn on wheel mode. But otherwise no.

as soon as red -> corner is activated - option for green - "ctrl + shift" rotation transform from that corner

Hi Tudor,

re:

The corner grips are used for scaling, rotation is done by the rotation grip. If you click on the rotation grip to activate wheel mode you can drag the rotation center point to a different location.

rectangle
r - round corners (possible introducing a point in center to mark that round corner is on, deleting after operation)
d - boolean difference -> works only with preselected objects - mostly for deleting symmetry & reapply a new one// round corners are disabled

is it possible to ivoke a script from current script ? not to rewrite all again ?

in situation like this - both selected planar won't work

Hi Tudor,

re:

It's working fine for me over here, can you post the .3dm file where it isn't working?

If you want to cap planar ends of an object like that you can also select the whole object and then run Planar, it will build trimmed planes and also automatically join them.

You can launch a new command from a command by using moi.command.execCommand( 'command_name' ); but that will cancel the current running command and the new one won't start until the current one has exited.

There isn't currently any way to launch a command as a kind of subroutine without exiting the current one. I have some ideas on adding that in the future.

didn't know that it was such an option - selecting body - planar
i was doing as usual, selecting edges !
thanks !

need some help with developing a function for move script
move arc -> draw helpers(points) on missing bbox frame (wanna use for arc -> draw points/aids for corners)

Hi Tudor,

I'll need a lot more detailed explanation of what you're trying to do to be able to understand it and help.
